It's no secret that most New Yorker readers flip through the magazine to look at the cartoons before they ever lay eyes on a word of the text. But what isn't generally known is that over the decades a growing cadre of women artists have contributed to the witty, memorable cartoons that readers look forward to each week. Now Liza Donnelly, herself a renowned cartoonist with the New Yorker for more than twenty years, has written this wonderful, in-depth celebration of women cartoonists who have graced the pages of the famous magazine from the Roaring Twenties to the present day.
An anthology of funny, poignant, and entertaining cartoons, biographical sketches, and social history all in one, VeryFunny Ladies offers a unique slant on 20th-century and early 21st-century America through the humorous perspectives of the talented women who have captured in pictures and captions many of the key social issues of their time. As someone who understands firsthand the cartoonist's art, Donnelly is in a position to offer distinctive insights on the creative process, the relationships between artists and editors, what it means to be a female cartoonist, and the personalities of the other New Yorker women cartoonists, whom she has known over the years.

Are you finding it challenging to manage and understand large electronic textual sources?Do you want to be able to extract textual information and automatically discover and /or detect hidden patterns, valuable to your organization?Do you want to understand the computational approaches and develop applications for automatically analyzing and mining textual information or documents? If you answered affirmatively, this book is the right for you as it will help you get familiarized with the introductory concepts of text analytics and text mining science and applications. It will allow you to examine and analyze electronic unstructured information in order to discover patterns and gain insights that can be useful for making better decisions in your organization.Discovered patterns can further be converted into structured data, which can be analyzed and placed (or used) together with traditional decision support systems (i.e., business intelligence, relational databases, data warehouses). Text analytics applications cross-cut different domains in business, industry, science, technology both in private and public areas, hence this book becomes a key tool to decision makers.For a better understanding, each of the book's nine chapters combine basic theories, models and computational methods with step-by-step practical exercises using the Python programming language. Thus, the book introduces both the fundamentals of text analytics (i.e., natural-language processing, document representation) and different tasks, that can be conducted for different applications, including: information extraction, patterns discovery, semantic analysis, document clustering, topic modeling, and text categorization.

Secure data science, which integrates cyber security and data science, is becoming one of the critical areas in both cyber security and data science. This is because the novel data science techniques being developed have applications in solving such cyber security problems as intrusion detection, malware analysis, and insider threat detection. However, the data science techniques being applied not only for cyber security but also for every application area-including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and marketing-could be attacked by malware. Furthermore, due to the power of data science, it is now possible to infer highly private and sensitive information from public data, which could result in the violation of individual privacy. This is the first such book that provides a comprehensive overview of integrating both cyber security and data science and discusses both theory and practice in secure data science.
After an overview of security and privacy for big data services as well as cloud computing, this book describes applications of data science for cyber security applications. It also discusses such applications of data science as malware analysis and insider threat detection. Then this book addresses trends in adversarial machine learning and provides solutions to the attacks on the data science techniques. In particular, it discusses some emerging trends in carrying out trustworthy analytics so that the analytics techniques can be secured against malicious attacks. Then it focuses on the privacy threats due to the collection of massive amounts of data and potential solutions. Following a discussion on the integration of services computing, including cloud-based services for secure data science, it looks at applications of secure data science to information sharing and social media.

Reactive systems and event-driven architecture are becoming indispensable to application design, and companies are taking note. Reactive systems ensure that applications are responsive, resilient, and elastic no matter what failures or errors may be occurring, while event-driven architecture offers a flexible and composable option for distributed systems. This practical book helps Java developers bring these approaches together using Quarkus 2.x, the Kubernetes-native Java framework.
Clement Escoffier and Ken Finnigan show you how to take advantage of event-driven and reactive principles to build robust distributed systems, reducing latency and increasing throughput, particularly in microservices and serverless applications. You'll also get a foundation in Quarkus to help you create true Kubernetes-native applications for the cloud.
